Gross almost fell over Donnrumma while trying to anticipate the corner, but fouled him instead. Rudiger disagreed, but the decision stands.

Amiri, the new German starter, sailed the free-kick just inches over the crosspiece, following a set-piece right off the edge of the penalty area.

Donnarumma dived forward to send the ball past the line following a cut-in pass from Amiri.

Moise Kean found himself getting chased by two opposition defenders inside the box, but before they could catch up, Kean utilized the power and took a strike. However, Baumann made another great stop, putting the ball over the top.

Tonali sliced another full-paced long-range strike on target from a second ball, but this time, Baumann made a brilliant stop on his goalmouth, putting his body completely behind the ball.

Donnarumma has always been one of the best goalkeepers in case of outings. He again showed his prowess, coming off his line to drift away a cross by Kimmich from the left corner.

Italy somehow managed to keep the ball off the net, as Donnarumma put his fingertips on a long ball to drift it away. Italy's defence line stayed alert to block two other shots as well.

A fierce start from the Azzuris!

One shot. One goal. Italy ahead!

Barella unleashed a beautiful Trivela pass for Raspadori, running upwards in a counter, but Baumann had the ball in his gloves.
